Hiding mandatory fields..

[gaz624]

Hi, I'm looking to not display some mandatory fields in certain scenarios. I will fill them with "n/a" just so that the form can be submitted.

I've tried this with a non-mandatory field an it has worked ok.                  

function onLoad() {

          If (matches conditions){

                    g_form.setDisplay('description', false);     //works

                    g_form.setDisplay('u_what_are_the_benefits_of_imp',false);   //doesn't work

            }

}

But when trying the same with some other fields its not working. I'm guessing because they are mandatory?

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

If a field is mandatory it will show up ,so you need to first make it non mandatory and then hide it using same code.

Hi garry

You can use UI Policies and make them mandatory, read only or visible according to the condition.

But first make the filed non-mandatory by default.

Be careful re this. UI Policies fire at statup only. If you need somthing dynamic in response to the change in value of a field you will need a client script

Only way to do it is make the fields non-mandatory using a script and then hide. Similarly, make fields mandatory using script and then show them so that there are no loose ends .
